All tag results for replacements

While the second season of the X Factor will see only Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid returning, there's been a lot of talk regarding who will potentially replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, but as far as we're concerned, she blows all the other competition out of the water!

According to sources close to the pop singer, MIZ BRITNEY SPEARS has reached out to the show to express her interest in being part of the judging panel, alongside other potentials like

Although Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon, and Cindy Barshop were only just booted from the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, sources close to production have revealed that three new ladies have already signed on - and although they've yet to be confirmed, they already sound like a breath of fresh air!

Chelsea Handler's NBC pilot, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea has not even debuted yet for its first season, and it's already getting some serious casting switch-ups!

Natalie Morales, Angel Laketa Moore, and Jo Koy, who all appeared in the pilot episode, have been given the axe, for what an NBC spokesperson claims to be "creative reasons." Apparently, the roles will be "re-conceived" for the full series.

Personally, from what we could see from the previews, the problems with that show go FAR beyond casting, so we hope that the creative powers that be can get it together before it gets canned three or four episodes in!

We'll be VERY curious to see if these two will be able to replace the magic between the two leads that made this show so great to begin with!

As we've reported, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as we know it will be gone forever after its upcoming thirteenth season, as Christopher Meloni has left the police procedural, and Mariska Hargitay has taken a reduced role for one final year, which has left the door open for two new leads to come in.

As sad as we are to see him go…hot damn, have they found quite the list of replacements!

Now that it's official that Christopher Meloni will NOT be returning to police procedural Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for another season, series creator Dick Wolf and NBC have reportedly narrowed down their search for a new detective to five names, which include

The future of the smash UK series Skins has gone into jeapordy now that it's been announced that series creator Jamie Brittain has called it quits, with a spokesman for the network Channel 4 revealing:

"Jamie has decided after five hit series to move on to write new projects and we wish him well. Skins is written by a team of young writers who are hard at work on the new series which is currently in pre-production."

And Brittain himself elaborates:

"I've just said everything I wanted to say. It's time for new writers to come forward and portray their truth about teenagers. I'm really sad to leave, but I'm confident that the writing and production team I've left behind will do an awesome job."

With him gone, as well as his co-cretor Bryan Elsley having left to work on the American remake, current assistant producer Toby Welch and script producer Neil Ducan have taken over running the next season, but if ratings don't improve, that could be the last!

We certainly hope not! Here's hoping that the new writers can breathe some fresh air into the series, and it will leave to see another generation of disillusioned teens!

Darren Aronofsky pretty much crushed our dreams of a good movie when he dropped off the proposed sequel to X-Men: Wolverine, The Wolverine, but apparently, David Slade and Duncan Jones have been tapped by execs for a chance to pick up the pieces of this mess.

While Slade is best known for more of a horror fare, like his work on 30 Days of Night, Jones was behind the really cool sci-fi flick, Moon.

Wow. Two really, specifically stylized aesthetics - but in complete opposition of each other! We think both could bring a lot to the table for the project!

"My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the VS show I didn't want to lose any more weight, I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that's good."
